Vase of Chrysanthemums 1883

"Vase of Chrysanthemums" (1883) by Claude Monet is a vibrant Impressionist painting that showcases Monet's mastery of light and color. The painting features a vase overflowing with brightly colored chrysanthemums, rendered with thick, visible brushstrokes. The flowers' delicate petals are depicted in shades of pink, red, and white, contrasted against the deep green vase and the rich, almost purple background. Monet's signature style is evident in the way he captures the fleeting effects of light, particularly the way the light dances on the petals of the chrysanthemums.
